Thank you for all the suggestions. I has been playing with border
and found them unsatisfactory. I now have choices to do the task.
Thank you.

Insert a Tab then highlight it and click Underline you can then move
the the ruler tab marker to the desired length. It works for me OK.

Use Tab Leaders. Much better than spaces anyway, even in Appleworks.
Look up "Tab leader" in the Help.

If it isnt floating 'In front of text':

This will stop it 'snapping' to your text and allow you to position
it to suit.
I have been caused to use Word from Office 98 and wish to create a
simple form to collect name, address etc.
In Appleworks I would type Name and then click on Underline and use
the space bar to draw a line to the desired length. Word does not
seem capable of this. I have a manual and have searched that for
clues as well as 'online' help.
Is this simple task possible?
Help please.
